We are a family run business. Our specialist knowledge has been passed down over several generations, and today the company is run by brothers Harry and Guy Apter. We have been based in the same showroom in Chelsea, London for 70 years.

Our clientele is varied. We supply individuals furnishing their homes, interior designers, collectors and museums. We delight in offering expert advice to everyone – from first time buyers to curators.

There has never been a better time to deal with us directly. Taking into account that the commissions charged by auction houses can be up to 40%, add this fee to the charges for handling, insurance and photography, and the inconvenience of waiting for the next appropriate sale, it is no wonder that we are receiving many more requests to buy than at any time previously!
